Resumo:The main objective of this text is to systematize and analyze the main legislation realized within the framework of international law in order to protect immigrants. The text is preceded by a section in which we present theoretical data with respect to immigration in general, and we point out the main characteristics, functions and process of creation of the international institution of protection to refugees. Subsequently, we analyze the main international legislation that protect the refugees. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Estatute of the Offi ce of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to the Status or Refugees. In the next section, we discuss the way in which asylum has been dealt with within the framework of doctrine and law. In the last section, we talk about the little protection that economic immigrants have had within the framework of international law, and we analyze the most important legislation law realized in this matter: The International Convention of the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
